I'd reccomend having a look here Welcome - Linux Wireless as these guys are doing a sterling job on drivers for *nix & they will be able to advise as well

sounds a great idea deltaflyer: you are one of the wireless experts: anyone looking for advice is likely to be very new:

with your expert knowledge, could you help them by pointing out a bit of the site that gives specific advice on which wireless cards are most likely to work?

Good suggestion, there are 3 sections to check
pci :- PCI - Linux Wireless
usb :- USB - Linux Wireless
pcmcia :- PCMCIA - Linux Wireless
